  • Privacy matters! Welcome to the era of privacy.

  • Johnson's PR campaign uses 'child protection' to sway public opinion against importance of privacy.

    "But think of the children!" This is the rallying cry used by politicians as the main argument when they push for weakening or banning encryption. Now Johnson’s government is striking the same chord with its PR campaign against encryption. The aim is to swing the public opinion against encryption and to stifle any meaningful discussion about the issue.

  • What is end-to-end encryption and why it matters.

    When communicating online, your data travels the web making it easy for all kinds of eavesdroppers - whether it being state agencies, malicious attackers, or just nosy people - to see your chat and email messages. End-to-end encryption puts a stop to that. When you use end-to-end encrypted communication tools, no one but the intended recipient can see and read your messages. But why does that matter?

However, oftentimes this warning is ignored by governments. But this is not the story we want to share with you today; this one is a different story.

  • MI6 chief warns that quantum computing leads to increased security threats.

    MI6 chief Moore warned in a public speech that the digital attack surface that criminals, terrorists and hostile states seek to exploit against us is growing exponentially due to technology advances in AI and quantum computing. We can fully relate to that because the internet as we know it depends on encryption: confidential communication, financial transactions, critical infrastructure - all of these are at risk if encryption can be broken. We at Tutanota have taken on the challenge to implement quantum-proof encryption before quantum computers become a reality!

  • Germany: New government plans 'right to encryption'.

    The coalition contract of the new German government (SPD, Grüne, FDP) satisfies a lot of expectations by digital rights activists.

  • A "Clear Name Internet" is a dangerous place: Why anonymity matters.

    Social media platforms like Facebook and oftentimes also politicians want people to use the internet with their real name.

Using clear names online opens a massive attack vector for criminals and threatens everybody's security.
